Katherine "Kay" Woodfin Obituary

The Woodfin family have been the caregivers and comforters for countless people throughout the years. Now I put my arms around you as you have so often for me. Key was always so warm and welcoming to me. Thank all of you for carrying on the example the John began.
All my love,
Nancy Ammerman

Always enjoyed seeing Kay and Bubba at the NSM meetings through the years. They will live on in my heart for the rest of my life.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

So very sorry to hear of Kay passing

I have known Kay since i was 5 years old. When i turned a teenager i use to go to the Ryman in Nashville to the all night gospel singings with Kay and Bubba. We always took a picnic basket full of food and had s great time. I loved them both and she was like a sister to me. Her brother Pat was like a brother and had the pleasure of getting to know Patti. Hate that i didnt know of her death in time to be there. Prayers and love to all of the family . . My daughter Tara use to play with Kit when they were small tom boys. Sorry to hear about Kay. Love you all.❤❤

Melissa and Family, I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Recalling Fond Memories in the 90’s of a family gathering at the Woodfin home. Horse rides were a highlight for the grandchildren of James T. and Anna Jean Warden. May God Bless your family.

Penny and I, together with our wider family, have so valued the long distance friendship of Kay, and the late Bubba, since first meeting them in England about 40 years ago. We could not have ever hoped to meet two kinder, more loving people, who have extended such wonderful hospitality to us over so many years. It is with great sadness that we could not make the journey across the Atlantic to be at Kay's funeral, but we would assure the wider Woodfin family of our deep sorrow at Kay's passing and that we are thinking of you all at this sad time. We will endeavor to come to the USA sometime in the next 12 months to pay our respects at the memorial park and to meet with members of Bubba and Kay's lovely family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.I didn't know Kay, but the Woodfin Family took great care with my late son Vincent Josef Gross, back in February of 2020...His final home is at Coleman Cemetery in Kittrell Tennessee.....my heart goes out to Kay's family and friends ❤

I was sad to learn this news from Brenda McFarlin. You have my deepest sympathy.

We met Kay & Bubba when our son Christopher moved to Tennessee & started working at the funeral home. They treated him as if he was their own grandson. They treated us as we were a part of their own family. Words can not express how much we loved them both & looked forward to coming to Tennessee again & seeing them. They welcomed everyone with open arms.
Our deepest sympathy to the Woodfin family. Kay will be greatly missed as Bubba.

A bright light has extinguished upon the death of Kay - a woman of ineffable beauty inside and out. What a remarkable life of love, faith, and generosity. With her radiant spirit,Kay could light up a room on her own, but when paired with Bubba John, it was like a big warm wave of joy, laughter and graciousness!

God's blessings to you, Shannon, and all your wonderful family as you mourn your extraordinary mother while giving thanks for her marvelous life. Thanks be to God for Kay Woodfin. May she rest in peace.

Kay and Bubba were such wonderful examples of living the way Jesus asked us to live, particularly through there compassion, hospitality. Kay provided a legacy her daughters will carry forward with beautiful memories.

My mother, Nancy Patterson, and I extend our deepest condolences to the Woodfin family. My mother has so many memories of times in Murfreesboro with my father, Fred Patterson and Bubba and Kay.

Kay leaves us with a legacy of wonderful memories and kindness.

Kay was such a bright ray of sunshine! My prayers are with you all as she joins Bubba up yonder.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

On behalf of Betty and P.O. Florida, they extend their deepest sympathies to the family. P.O. asked that we share what a special friendship they had with both Kay and Bubba over so many years. The family is praying for comfort and happiness in remembering what a wonderful life and impact they had on so many.

My sincerest condolences to the Woodfin Family as well as the staff of Woodfin Chapel during this time of bereavement. Matthew 5:4.

I grew up in greenbrier next door to Kay an her family in our earliest of years. Out door toilets an all! But we survived a she was the epitome of love.

Mrs Woodfin was by far the most elegant lady I have ever been blessed to know and love! She was a wonderful mother to her four busy little girls. I was always amazed at her patience with her humorous husband. She was the perfect mate to stand by his side and to couple with representing Woodfins Chapel. I have beautiful memories of always enjoying her bright smile and warm hugs. I love her.
Love and prayers for her entire family!

Kay was the ultimate Southern lady. Always beautiful, kind and caring. She made our move to Murfreesboro in 1980 much easier, by greeting us in church, involving us in activities and generally making us feel welcome in our new hometown.
